The instrument cluster display message stays active
until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors,
hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for
unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security sys-
tem is armed, interior switches for door locks and lift-
gate release handle are disabled. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security system will provide the
following audible and visible signals:
•
The horn will pulse
•
The turn signals will flash
•
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF
position.
○
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make
sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the
vehicle:
○
Push the lock button on one of the front interior
power door lock switches with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
○
Touch the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob available in
the same exterior zone
page 26.
○
Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the Vehicle
Security Light (located in the lower right portion of the
instrument cluster display) will begin to flash every two
seconds until it is disarmed.
NOTE:
•
If the system is armed by pushing the lock button on
the interior door panel, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash rapidly for about 15 seconds once the door is
closed, then slow down to every two seconds.
•
Pushing a lock button on the rear interior power
door lock switches will not arm the Vehicle Security
system.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
•
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
•
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the
door
page 26.
•
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm
the system.
NOTE:
•
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm
the Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key cyl-
inder when the alarm is armed will sound the alarm
when the door is opened.
•
The Vehicle Security system remains armed when
the power liftgate is opened using the liftgate button
on the key fob. If someone enters the vehicle
through the opened liftgate, then opens any door
from the inside, the alarm will sound.
•
If Passive Entry (if equipped) is used to unlock the
liftgate, the Vehicle Security system is disarmed and
the rest of the vehicle doors will remain locked
unless all doors are set to unlock on first press
within Uconnect Settings.
•
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the inte-
rior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security system will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the
horn off after a 29 second cycle (with five seconds
between cycles and up to eight cycles if the trigger
remains active) and then rearm itself.
